Art history professor Esther Jacobson-Tepfer and her husband, photographer Gary Tepfer, documented surface archaeology, especially rock art sites, while geography professor Jim Meacham spent three seasons with their team, assisting with analysis, the production of maps and the presentation of their research to a broader audience.
Together they have produced a spectacular 224-page book, Archaeology and Landscape in the Mongolian Altai: An Atlas (ESRI Press, 2009). There is also an online Mongolian Altai inventory collection, where visitors can view images and explore the region with interactive maps, at mongolianaltai.uoregon.edu.
